| Topic: IronRuby and IronPython are important to you -- you just don’t know it yet
|
| Speaker: Jimmy Schementi
|
Ever wanted time to see what all the Ruby, Python, and general dynamic language hype about is all about? Come to this tag-team-talk from two IronRuby team members about what interesting roles dynamic languages can play in your daily dev-lives. Lots of ground will be covered, from client-side development with WPF and Silverlight, testing C#/VB.NET applications, and adding scripting support to existing codebases. Come to this talk to learn how to be more productive on .NET.
Bio:
Jimmy Schementi works on IronRuby and IronPython, open-source dynamic languages for .NET. He enjoys black screens, keyboard-only input, and pretty-but-modest user interfaces. When he grows up he wishes to be an if-statement: those things are decisive. Interested? Read more on http://blog.jimmy.schementi.com, and come to this talk.
